    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command> is a
    oneshot system service (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), that waits for the network to be
    configured. By default, it will wait for all links it is aware of
    and which are managed by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    to be fully configured or failed, and for at least one link to be online. Here, online means that
    the link's operational state is equal or higher than <literal>degraded</literal>. The threshold
    can be configured by <option>--operational-state=</option> option.</para>

    <para>The following options are understood:</para>

        <listitem><para>Network interface to wait for before deciding if the system is online. This
        is useful when a system has several interfaces which will be configured, but a particular
        one is necessary to access some network resources. When used, all other interfaces are ignored.
        This option may be used more than once to wait for multiple network interfaces. When this
        option is specified multiple times, then <command>systemd-networkd-wait-online</command> waits
        for all specified interfaces to be online. Optionally, required minimum and maximum operational
        states can be specified after a colon <literal>:</literal>. Please see
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>networkctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        for possible operational states. If the operational state is not specified here, then
        the value from <varname>RequiredForOnline=</varname> in the corresponding
        <filename>.network</filename> file is used if present, and <literal>degraded</literal> otherwise.
